The article I wrote calling Newfields an art world travesty in 2017 got so much attention in Indianapolis that a local morning radio show literally called me out by name. I was only trying to defend Indy from Big Van Gogh

At the time one of the museum's board members said something that I still think about to this day. A viewpoint at least as corrosive as throwing a bucket of paint at an artwork to get attention

The Lume, the Controversial Immersive Digital Art Gallery at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Closed at the End of February The Lume, the immersive digital art gallery at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, closed at the end of February after five years.
